Name AND Section:
Written #1: (15 points) Write correct Python code to meet the following specifications. Write all of your answer neatly on this sheet. Indicate inden- tation with care. Do not use lists. Do not use the swapcase string method.
No error checking is needed.
Repeatedly prompt for a sentence (string) or for ’q’ to quit. Upon input of a sentence s, print the string produced from s by converting each lower case letter to upper case and each upper case letter to lower case. All other characters are left unchanged. For example:
>>> =========================== RESTART ===========================
>>>
Please enter a sentence, or ’q’ to quit: This is the Bomb!
tHIS IS THE bOMB!
Please enter a sentence, or ’q’ to quit: What’s up Doc???
wHAT’S UP dOC???
Please enter a sentence, or ’q’ to quit: q
You may use the upper and lower (string) methods in your solution to this problem. Here are some examples of their use:
>>> s = "How are you?"
>>> s.upper()
’HOW ARE YOU?’
>>> s.lower()
’how are you?’
Written #2: (5 points) Write a Python function to do the conversion de- scribed in the previous problem. Write all of your answer neatly on this sheet. Indicate indentation with care. Do not use lists. Do not use the swapcase string method. No error checking is needed.
More specifically, define function convert(s) so it returns the string produced by converting each lower case letter in s to upper case and each upper case letter in s to lower case. All other characters are left unchanged. For example:
>>> =========================== RESTART ===========================
>>>
>>> convert("Sam I am!")
’sAM i AM!’
Your function must not input any values from the user or print any output;
a main program would be responsible for that. For example, your function should work properly with the following main program:
# sample main program that invokes convert sentence = input("Please input a sentence: ") converted_sentence = convert(sentence)
print(converted_sentence)
